    Wonder why they sold Cover Girl? Aren’t all those celebrity ‘models’ helping sales?

      Via Reuters:

      “P&G is looking to sell some of its beauty brands as part of a cost-cutting strategy by Chief Executive Officer A.G. Lafley. Lafley said in August he would reverse the Cincinnati-based company’s strategy of aggressive expansion and shed more than half its brands.

      P&G said it would concentrate on 70 to 80 brands that have accounted for 90 percent of its sales over the past three years.”

      P&G does keep a few beauty things, including Pantene & Olay, but Coty is now the world’s biggest fragrance company.

        Well I suppose there is no sense in P&G carrying around dead weight. But Cover Girl? I didn’t think they’d let that one go.
        Sounds like P&G bit off more than they could chew and have no room for seconds.
        Does this mean they’re giving Patou to Coty too?

          They sold Patou in 2011, to Designer Parfums
